Don't think a smartphone microphone is sufficiently directional to be able to indicate that
Incidentally, the songbird ID apps I've seen in use are mediocre at best at identifying songs. The main problem seems to be that they use AI that is trained on heavily US-centric datasets, and don't seem to take into account location (theoretically easy), or terrain (harder for an app).
I have a mate who uses one when walking his dog and regularly get asked whether it's possible that there's e.g. a Northern Mockingbird in woodland round the back of Brighton (vanishingly unlikely).
